Board of Trustees

At the French American School of Princeton, decision-making authority at the highest level resides in a volunteer Board of Trustees that includes individuals with related expertise. The functions of the Board focus on three areas critical to the success of the School:

It selects, evaluates, and supports the Head of School, to whom it delegates authority to manage the School,

It upholds the mission of the School and develops broad institutional policies that guide the Head of School in running the School.

It is accountable for the financial well-being of the School.
